Winston the Dog gets a sixth month probation for his attack on Chattanooga police on March 14th. The policeman was sitting in his car, shooting radar, when his vehicle suddenly started rocking. The dog attacked his front bumper, ripping it to shreds. He eventually moved on to the tires, puncturing them. Police tried a taser on Winston, but it still didn’t stop him. He damaged several vehicles before his rampage was over, but he never attacked any humans. On March 25th, a judge gave Winston 6 months to straighten out his act or he’ll be put down. After the hearing, Chattanooga Police released this video of the incident, taken by several of their cars’ dash cams.
